  • Holbrook Hall, Belper
Holbrook Hall is a highly regarded care home in Holbrook, Belper. It is a splendid William and Mary period country house set in 4 acres of beautiful, well-stocked gardens.

In 1985 it was converted to a residential care home for the elderly containing 35 fine individual bedrooms, the majority with en-suite facilities/wet rooms and superb views across the adjacent gardens and beautiful countryside.

Holbrook Hall has had the pleasure to care for many people, from short-term respite care and daytime care to full-time residents.

Keeping their residents happy is of prime concern and as their Facebook page will vouch; they are forever thinking of different ways to entertain their guests.

The home has a well-earned reputation for conforming to the highest standards of care, safety, comfort and cuisine and has the testimonials to prove it!

From the moment I called Holbrook Hall and had a look around, in 2015, I knew it was going to be the right place for my brother. He had complex needs but that didn't bother the staff, they embraced him and were very patient with him. I found the Hall well kept, no smells, clean and tidy. The staff were
friendly and caring, they encouraged him to join in with the activities, and I thank my lucky stars my brother was very happy there, until his passing in May 2024.
I wish to thank all past and present staff for their care and understanding. I would have no qualms about recommending Holbrook Hall.
Thank you.

My mother passed away in June, and I want to thank everyone at Holbrook Hall for the way she was treated over the three years she lived there, but especially in her final weeks. The care and compassion shown to Mum, my family and me, have been second to none. Staff even visited Mum in their free time.
This made her and me feel like we were part of a special family unit. Something that the staff work hard to create on a daily basis. Thank you all.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Really disappointing respite stay at Holbrook Hall. Despite the assurance that Holbrook Hall is dementia friendly, they struggled with Mum as she was too active and tactile with the other residents and was not stimulated enough there. I often felt they were understaffed for the number of residents.
The dining room is packed with tables and big heavy chairs that residents struggle to move around with many residents with mobility issues and using walking frames.
Teacups have tiny handles, unfit for mum with dementia.
Management was unable to keep to their word for meeting us when we arrived for the first time in a care home setting, arrival was chaotic and unsupportive, mum was wandering around the garden alone and confused within an hour of our arrival whilst I was readying her room.
The staff were all really friendly, kind and helpful, the food always looked and smelt good, mum's room was always clean and her clothes clean. Overall not a great experience would not recommend Holbrook Hall.
Reply from Hannah Henshaw, Regional Manager at Holbrook Hall

Thank you for sharing your views of our home; we value all feedback and use it to influence future changes and improvements to the service we provide to enhance the experience of our residents. Our dining room and communal areas have recently undergone a full refurbishment to improve facilities for residents and fixtures have been sourced in line with resident choice. We have specialist equipment and crockery available to meet the individual needs of people who have difficulties associated with sight, dementia and dexterity. Moving into a residential care setting and the change of environment can be unsettling for some people and at Holbrook Hall, we offer a trial period, during which time we work hard to build trusting relationships with individuals and continually monitor and assess their needs to ensure that the placement is suitable for all parties involved. Unfortunately, on this occasion, management was unable to be present due to an unexpected situation.

Beautiful, old building (extremely clean). No smells, except lunch! Gardens kept brilliantly. Greeted very warmly and helped my elderly mother. Shown to the conservatory where our relative was brought to us. All staff very friendly, smiley and helpful. We were offered a drink and told on another day
we could have a meal with our relative. She is very happy here and cannot speak highly enough of all staff.

My mum has been attending for the day following a period of illness and becoming more confused. The carers are all very friendly, and there is a very relaxed and positive feel to the home. The house and grounds are beautiful and there is plenty of space to sit somewhere quieter if you're not wanting
to join in with the other activities. The food is excellent. My mum really enjoyed the exercise class on a Friday morning and sitting in the conservatory chatting with some of the other residents.

Visited a neighbour who lived in our close, but after a stroke, moved to be nearer her son. The lady was known by all staff and knew their names which was good, does seem to have settled as well as expected. The lounge and library area looked inviting and pleasant. We were made very welcome, came with
other old neighbours and enjoyed lunch with her. Overall seemed a happy place.

Always spotlessly clean everywhere and nothing is too much trouble. Any of the

My step-mother in her 90s moved to Holbrook Hall in 2019 initially intended for a short period, however the pandemic eventually led to her staying long term. We feel she has been well cared for through ups and downs with her own challenges with her mental health, and staff have always been supportive,
have listened well to her, and encouraged her to take part in activities. The activity coordinator who has recently started has been particularly excellent. The setting is beautiful and it was so important for her to be able to walk outside, which once she was less able to do independently, was facilitated by staff. In her last months, she was able to remain in the home and be cared for throughout her end of life care for which we were very grateful. Thank you to all the staff.

The staff at Holbrook Hall are amazing and have worked hard to help my father to settle in, which has not been easy as he has struggled with the move from having independence to life in a care home. The Hall has a lovely ambience, and being an old building has character. The food is excellent and receives
praise from my father. The activities that the staff organise are numerous and help the residents to keep active both physically and mentally.

It's a joy to respond to the care staff who are both cheerful and helpful, accepting both my deafness and my poor memory. The one improvement I would like would be to have more written information about what is, or is about to be, happening; telling we residents how we are to respond. Also, what has
been cancelled.

As a retired care manager, I cannot rate Holbrook Hall highly enough. My mother can be a difficult person to deal with, very critical and determined to have her own way. She herself says "it's very nice here" and "the food is lovely". That is praise from her! The carers are patient and tolerant and
treat each resident with the dignity they should have. Individual care needs are addressed and provided for.

My aunt has received excellent care since becoming a resident at Holbrook. The management and staff go above and beyond to make her feel she is at home with their warmth and caring attitudes. The facilities are amazing and she joins in as much of the entertainment as possible. I often catch her participating
in the crafts on the excellent, witty, social media feeds. She especially enjoys sitting out in the garden and pottering in the sunshine, which she always enjoyed at home.
This is a beautiful home with exceptional grounds and I am always made to feel so welcome when I visit.
Thank you for all you do for my aunt; it is much appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Holbrook Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.767 for Holbrook Hall is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.767
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holbrook Hall is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
